Chapter 35 Dragon Blood Vine

What a cheapie!I had to quickly cover my eyes with my sleeve to reduce the irritation of the spicy gas.While retreating, the spicy smell in the air is also slowly reducing, at this time Tongtong suddenly told me a scary thing, the vine retracted to the tree.

I managed to keep my eyes open, tears streaming down my face, and when I shone the flashlight, the dragon blood vine I cut just now was gone.Driven by curiosity, I shone the flashlight on the tree again, wanting to see how the dracaena retracted, or something on the tree pulled the vine up.

But I didn't see anything on the tree, maybe the leaves are too dense, but I hope it's monkeys or something.I asked Tongtong to look at it, and she couldn't see anything on the tree, she just said that after the vine retracted from the tree, it didn't look strange.

I grow mimosa at home, and the leaves will shrink together when I touch them. Does Dracaena also have this function?I don't know, if it was daytime, I might dig one or two and go back to study, but now I'm here to catch imps and tree spirits, and I don't have time to waste.

There are no strange things on the tree, Tongtong and I searched in a different direction, and I asked Tongtong if you can't sense their breath?Tongtong shook her head, as if she didn't know the reason, she was no different from an ordinary little girl at this moment, except that she was a ghost if her feet were not touching the ground.

We hadn't walked far, and we seemed to hear the sound of running water. Tongtong asked me if I heard the sound of running water, and I nodded, saying that the sound of water seemed to be in front.It is not surprising that there is a small stream here, after all, it is a mountain depression, and the water on the mountain must flow here. You can go and see if the tree spirit and the little devil are hiding in the small stream.

We walked along the sound of the water, but didn't see the expected creek, only a neck-high stone.This stone is no different from the surrounding stones, but the difference is that there is a spring on it. The water from this spring is only as big as a fist, and the height of the water is about ten centimeters.

But what surprised us was that the water from the spring on the top of the stone did not flow to the ground, but flowed back into the stone.why?Because there is a hole the size of a basketball in the middle of the stone, the water flowing from the spring above the stone flows along a crack in the stone body to the hole in the waist of the stone.

If it is artificial, then there is nothing strange, but if it is natural, it is extremely rare!On such a small rock, water can come alive.

I asked Tongtong if she could get into the spring to have a look. She pouted and said that she didn't need to go in and look, just touch it.After Tongtong finished speaking, she stretched out one hand into the water, only to see that her face changed, and she immediately retracted her hand as if she had been scalded.

I was worried and eager to ask her what's wrong, is there anything wrong?I saw Tongtong turned his head and looked at me with a surprised face, and at the same time opened his mouth into a letter O.

I asked her eagerly again: "Aren't those two disgusting things hiding inside?"

Tong Tong shook his head and said, "This spring water is so weird, it's neither living water nor stagnant water, because the water doesn't reach the ground at all."

"Ah! So what's going on? What is living water and stagnant water?" I asked puzzled.

Seeing that I didn't quite understand what I heard, Tongtong said that the water from the spring on the rock flowed into the hole in the waist of the rock, but the hole didn't lead to the ground, but to the spring on the rock. It keeps circulating like this.

This is simply too much nonsense!Could there be a mechanism inside the rock? I doubted it, so I picked a few leaves from the side and put them into the water.Those few leaves flowed into the hole in the waist of the stone along with the water, and sure enough, a few leaves spewed out from the spring above the stone after a while, which is so fucking amazing.

If this stone is dug up and suspended in the air, will the water flow continuously?I don't know the reason for this, but it's a pity that I can't take such a big rock with me, and I don't have time to dig it now.

Time is urgent, and we also intend to gather around this stone and study it carefully. We must catch the little devil as soon as possible. This locust tree forest is really weird.I took Tongtong's hand and said let's go!Find the little ghost boy and get out of here immediately!We will dig this stone and go home when we have a chance.

In order to feel safe and save the batteries of the flashlight, I picked up some fallen dead branches and piled them up on the ground, and lit a fire. The raging flames rose to a height of two meters, illuminating a large area.

After lighting the fire, I feel much safer. Although it is better to search for the little ghosts, but there are also disadvantages. If the old man who raises ghosts really comes, then the fire will reveal that someone is here.But don't care about so much, it's easier for us to find them with the firelight, and we can also block our luck and catch them before the old man who raises ghosts comes, but maybe he won't come or he won't come.

Tong Tong and I inspected every tree hole, and finally came to the biggest old pagoda tree in the valley.This old pagoda tree is probably the mother tree of all the pagoda trees in this pagoda forest, and the trunk of the tree can only be hugged by four adults.The branches and leaves spread out to cover a large area. The dragon blood vines hanging from the tree were like tentacles, and the trunk was also covered with vines.

Entering under the old locust tree, I felt that the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped by several degrees, and I couldn't help shivering.Tongtong didn't feel it, she walked around the old locust tree several times with her hands behind her back like an adult, and even knocked on the trunk with her hands.I used a flashlight to take a photo on the tree. This photo was like winning a lottery. I almost jumped up for joy, because I saw a black baby body tied to a finger-thick vine.I finally found it. I was afraid that my eyes would be dazzled, so I asked Tongtong if it was true, and the answer I got was yes.

The place where the little ghost boy was tied up was not too high, only three to four meters. For a tree climber like me, it was easy to climb up.I rubbed my hands together, grabbed a vine on a tree trunk and was about to climb, when it suddenly felt like something was wrong, but it was too late.

The dragon blood vine I caught immediately seemed to come to life, like a snake, twisted and rolled me up, and tied it three or four times.At the same time, the two vines next to me also stretched out and rolled up my body, and then pulled them up the tree.

This sudden change made me panic, the flashlight fell to the ground, I struggled with all my strength, my throat was sore, and the echo echoed in this valley several times.

Tongtong was also frightened, and pulled my clothes, but it didn't work at all. Fujiko pulled Tongtong and me to the tree together.But to my surprise, I was only tied up by vines after being pulled up the tree, but nothing happened.

Fortunately, I was only tied up, and my hands could move freely. I tried to take out the bronze knife from the cloth bag I carried with me, but found that the bag was stuck on my body, and the knife was also stuck by the rattan.

Tongtong let go of my clothes, fell to the ground, picked up the flashlight, floated in front of me and placed it on a tree branch, the light just shone on me.

Tongtong reached out and touched the dragon's blood vine that was wrapping around me, but there was nothing she could do. I suddenly had a quick wit and asked her to get a torch.

If you dare to tie me up, watch me burn you to ashes, Tongtong came over with a fire in a while, and I asked her to take the roots of the three vines that tied me up and burn them.

Tong Tong let out a hum, and then held up the torch and floated until the Fujiko was on fire. Within half a second, the Fujiko let go, and before I was ready, I fell to the ground from a height of three or four meters, and almost fell off my waist arrive.

Tongtong threw down the flashlight, and I caught it and took a photo. The vines that bound me just now had retracted to the tree. At this time, Tongtong was burning the vines that bound the little ghost boy, and they fell off the tree after a while. A small black body came down.

I don't know how this disgusting little ghost was bound by the vines. Maybe he ran up the tree and ran into these vines.What puzzles me is how can these dragon blood vines move?Is it a plant or an animal.

I climbed up, picked up the little black body and put it back into the bag. At this time, Tongtong also came down from the tree. She was just a projected human form and had no real body, so Fujiko couldn't tie her up.

I am a person who holds grudges. I picked up a bunch of dead branches on the ground, piled them up under the roots of the old locust tree and set them on fire. Suddenly, the dracaena vines hanging down from the old locust tree like tentacles were like cramps. They slapped, and then they all retracted into the tree.

It's really scary, but luckily I'm smart enough to know that except for water, no matter what kind of monsters and ghosts are afraid of fire.Now that the little ghost boy was also caught, and the old pagoda tree was old, I couldn't burn it to death, so I pulled the firewood from under the tree roots and stomped it out.

After catching the little ghost boy, Tongtong and I were about to leave the locust tree forest, when she suddenly asked me if the tree spirit wasn't caught yet?I just remembered that there is still a tree spirit I haven't seen!

This tree spirit obstructed my work under the ancient camphor tree next to the graveyard at the foot of the mountain, and then followed it up the mountain and released the little ghost, killing grandma, how could I let it go?
In the forest of this mountain depression, there are many dragon blood vines hanging from every locust tree. In order to avoid being tied up by the vines like before, I got a torch to hold it.

Holding a torch in my hand, it can not only be used for lighting, but also can protect my own safety. When I was young and playful, wherever I went, whenever I saw vines approaching me, I stretched out the fire to burn them, and those vines retracted in fright. up the tree.These scary vines have now become amusing toys, and the transformation is really great.

We walked for five or six minutes, and unknowingly came to the edge of the forest, but Tong Tong suddenly said, someone is coming.I immediately threw the torch on the ground, stomped it out, and hid behind a tree, looking up at the hillside.Sure enough, not long after, I vaguely saw five black shadows, which seemed to be four men and one woman, and they were no more than 6 meters away from me at the moment.
